IOER maps and geodata

The Leibniz Institute of Ecological and Regional Development IOER is a spatial research institute with strong demands for maps and geodata as information sources for spatial researches as well as final representations of the study results.


Geodata management is a task for the institute's geo-experts due to• different investigated subjects, • spaces, • time periods, • data characteristics (metainformation), and also due to the • fluctuation of the employees.

implementation of a document archiving system

(appropriate for the institute scale) FAUSTwith one section for maps and geodata.

The relevant documents and data have to be integrated manually and labour-intensively by registering their metainformation which is necessary for retrieval and reuse.

PROs and CONs:

2710 Objects integrated:2350 topographical and thematical maps 102 geo-statistical data 181 geodata (raster, vector, remote sensing) (77 research project information)

Metainformation

This procedure confronted us with issues of spatial description, ontology, and the lingual determination of metainformation,

and directed our attention to the endeavors of metainformation standardization and the actual implementation progresses.

ESRI ArcCatalog

ArcCatalog geodata and GIS document management application in ESRI ArcGIS . •provides views of all the data files, databases, and ArcGIS documents, •(including relational databases, files, ArcGIS documents, and remote GIS web services)•Browse and find geographic information•Record, view, and manage metadata•Define, export, and import geodatabase data models and datasets•Search for and discover GIS data on local networks and the Web



ESRI ArcCatalog ArcGIS 10 (2010)



Quickly index GIS data and maps on internal computer and external serversSearch for data and maps using full text and spatial queries as easily as you search the web

Preview of the results of your search using thumbnails and Access for use in a variety of GIS applications

Build a spatial data portal in just a few clicks

Fits into existing workflows by not requiring metadata (improved when metadata exists)
